My intervention on behalf of over 2million EU voters who are denied their voice in European Parliament. 3 Catalan MEPs have been refused access to EP - this undermines the democratic process & cannot be tolerated by those who value human rights in the EU.#Catalonia #Strasbourg pic.twitter.com/gufM8rRzmy

This evening in EP Strasbourg @EP_President made a call for respect for freedom & human dignity. I thought it appropriate to ask when he would speak for these principles regarding #Catalonia
His refusal to respond was disappointing but not surprising #HumanRightsDay #Hypocrisy pic.twitter.com/Dtpdhlxe73

Turns out the kids have been using my election leaflets to get through the facial recognition lock...
I’m not sure whether to be proud by the wit or concerned by the sneakiness? pic.twitter.com/rtDsuNRB8B

If these scenes were being broadcast from South America or Middle-East the rhetoric from EU leaders would be immense. The fact that is happening within EU borders makes their silence absolutely untenable. It is time to be counted, it’s time to stand against this tyranny! https://t.co/snPwV4sOHM
